RE: [MMSEM-Vocabulary] comments on XGR

Raphaël,

Again, thanks a lot for your constructive and sound review. 

With this mail I'd also like to send out a BIG thank you
to all the contributors (CC'd) - without your input and
review this XGR would simply not exist!

Now, in

 http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/mmsem/XGR-vocabularies/ 
 (Revision: v1.32)

all your comments have been addressed - so do I hope :)

The following is a detailed report on the changes 
I did based on you comments:

 * All 'Put a reference to ...' issues are resolved 
   (additionally for XMP, which was not mentioned but
   for consistency reasons updated)

 * MPEG-7 is fully integrated (existing and formal)

 * MPEG-21 has been updated nearly as you suggested 
  (I left the REL-part in there as well)

 * Some minor additions in MXF (further refs + 
   SMPTE Metadata Dictionary RP210)

 * Merged the formalizations and the MMO section 
   to be the new Sec. 4

 * Audio onto part was added

 * Cleaned up unused references

The newly added COMM-part (cf. Sec. 4.4.4) might need a 
short review/update from your side.

Cheers,
	Michael
